Cooperative for Education
- I Implementer
Description
Since 1996, Cooperative for Education has been committed to breaking the cycle of poverty in Guatemala through education.

We empower rural Guatemalan communities to transform their own quality of education, with a focus on evening the playing field for girls, who are typically excluded from education.
